Minor update

The sewing machines can't be Frankensteined like I thought. The bobbin panel of one is totally different from the other. However, I plugged the "broke" one in and did a test sample with it and...it's fine. Other than a slight tension issue -which is very fixable with a bit of work- it doesn't seem to have any issues. Of course, all I did was some straight and zig zag stitches on a scrap of muslin. We'll see the real test tomorrow after I cut out either a new 20th C dress or a new 16th C dress. Oh well, maybe I should go with accuracy for the 20th C one and just use the very slow but working vintage machine. ;-)
